Gibson Energy continues to deal with old oil spill By Treena Mielke
Safety first: Rimbey elementary school received 10 CSA approved helmets thanks to a donation from Allen Adam, owner of Subway in Rimbey. The children who skate at an outdoor arena as part of their physical education program may borrow skates and helmets if necessary.

Gibson Energy is continuing to clean up affected soil caused by an oil spill occuring from a pipeline in the Rimbey area that has been shut-in since 1974. John Davis, senior advisor for corporate environmental for Gibson Energy said the clean up which has been ongoing for two years, is 90 per cent complete and should be wrapped up next spring. “There is no risk to the public and there is only one landowner whose land has been affected by the spill and we are working closely with him,” said Davis. The oil spill, which occurred east of Rimbey on TWN424 east of the Pembina transfer facility, was discovered by the landowner in 2009 when he noticed the smell of hydrocarbons while digging fence posts. Gibson Energy determined the spill was coming from one of their pipelines which had been abandoned as per regulations and not used since 1974.
Davis said there has been no record of a spill reported during the time that the pipeline was in operation (pre1974) and there is no way to determine exactly when it occurred. To determine the extent of the contamination Gibson Energy conducted a delineation program which included sampling the ground water and determining the best remediation procedures to follow. “It was determined that there was no contamination other than the soil,” Davis said. Cleanup began in 2011 and was restricted to the fall season in order to minimize incidental disturbance to productive agricultural land. Restoring sites which have been affected by oil spills from abandoned pipelines to an environmentally approved state is a required practice throughout Alberta, Davis said. “There are hundreds of thousands of kilometres of pipelines in a compliant state of abandonment across the province” he said.
Negotiations continue for new aging-in-place facility By Treena Mielke Progress is slow, but it appears in-roads are slowly being made regarding government funding for a new aging in place facility in Rimbey. Last Thursday, Paul McLauchlin, chairman of Rimoka Housing Foundation confirmed that negotiations with the Province had never stalled, but changes and revisions have been made. “The first proposal submitted early this year was not complete as it did not address the exist-
ing facility,” he said. McLauchlin confirmed that a new 40-bed facility is being looked at. The facility is to be built on land west of the Peter Lougheed Centre, which Ponoka County is in the process of purchasing. Renovations to the existing Parkland Manor are also being considered so the building can meet government standards and comfortably accommodate residents who are housed there. Presently the manor is in need of extensive

repair. “It is too small and the hallways are too narrow to accommodate stretchers,” McLauchlin said. “There is lots of work to be done on it.” He added that before any decisions are made, officials will chat with residents to ensure all their needs are met. “The foundation needs to meet with residents in the near future to discuss potential plans as this is their home,” he said. McLaughlin said he is pleased Doug
Griffiths, Minister of Municipal Affairs announced that provincial legislation stating a Ministerial order is necessary for housing foundations such as Rimoka to take on debt could be abolished by the end of the year. “That will make the process of accessing funding cleaner and more streamlined,” he said. The Rimoka Housing Foundation is responsible for lodge facilities in Rimbey and Ponoka and is supported by the funding municipalities of Ponoka County, Rimbey and Ponoka.

The Rimbey Review, Nov. 26, 2013 3
RCMP arrest and charge impaired night hunters Rimbey Mounties arrested three individuals west of Rimbey for hunting elk at night. A 17-year-old male from Rimbey and two adults from Alhambra have been charged. On Nov. 17, at approximately 9:30 p.m., an alert citizen contacted police to report a suspicious truck driving on Leedale Road near Highway 766 without any headlights on. Officers quickly responded to the scene as this is known to be a highly targeted area by poachers who hunt at night. Within minutes police stopped a Dodge truck driving on Leedale Road where elk could be seen in the field by the moonlight. When the officer approached the vehicle he observed the front passenger holding a spotlight with a loaded rifle in his possession. The driver and back passenger also had loaded high powered rifles. All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver had been drinking. The subsequent investigation found that the driver had shot at a bull elk from the roadway with a scoped rifle near a residence at night while the passenger utilized a spotlight so the shooter could see the elk better. It is not known at this time whether the bull elk was wounded or not as the investigation into this matter continues. Alberta Fish and Wildlife Officers were in the immediate area and also quickly responded and assisted the RCMP in this case. DO YOUR PART
RECYCLE
YOUR
PAPER!
In total, police laid 14 charges for Wildlife Act, Traffic Safety Act and Liquor Act offences, including hunting in a dangerous manner, hunting at night, discharging a firearm from a roadway, hunting while impaired and hunting on occupied land without permission. Police seized the pickup truck as well as the three rifles. The driver has had his operator’s license suspended for 30 days for driving a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol. In this case, the offences took place only one mile from where two large bull moose were shot and left to rot and only their antlers taken by poachers last November. That case still remains unsolved. The RCMP will continue to aggressively target individuals involved in illegal activities and will use every possible tool and agency available. The RCMP wishes to remind those that are involved in criminal activity that any assets used to a commit crime will be seized as offence related property. Rimbey Mounties and Alberta Fish and Wildlife Officers have been diligently working together in partnership to put an end to the frequent poaching in the area. Officers have proactively approached landowners and asked them to immediately call police or Report a Poacher at 1-800-6423800 to report suspicious persons or vehicles.

Sylvan Lake RCMP seek public assistance The Sylvan Lake RCMP are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a suspect who was involved in a rash of property related crime in Eckville recently. During this time period, at least four break and enters to houses occurred where vehicle keys and wallets were stolen. These residences were unlocked and people were home at the time sleeping. As a result, four vehicles were stolen, two of which have since been recovered in Red Deer. The suspect also entered several unlocked vehicles and removed purses and wallets. The suspect then used or attempted
to use stolen credit cards at a number of locations in Red Deer and Blackfalds on Saturday morning. The male was caught on numerous surveillance videos. He is described as being in his twenties, short dark hair with slight side burns. He may have some missing front teeth. As well, he was wearing a black zip up hoody, blue jeans and sun glasses on his head. He was seen driving a grey or lighter colored Jeep Grand Cherokee. If you can identify this person, please contact the Sylvan Lake RCMP at (403)858-7200 or call CRIMESTOPPERS at 1-888-222-TIPS (8477)

Bullies are unwanted by everyone. Nobody wants to be threatened or made fun of. A bully’s goal is to make their victim feel low or to hurt them mentally or physically. It’s wrong and is a maTaylor Snell jor concern to many Work Experience teens, parents and schools. When I was in Grade 5, I started attending a new elementary school. On my first day I recognized some familiar faces as I had attended kindergarten at that same school. I automatically picked up where I left off with those people. After only a week or two at school I started to notice that some of these kids I called my friends were not the greatest of people, and neither was I, for that matter. These kids manipulated me into thinking that what they were saying or doing was cool and fun. I found myself doing and saying things that the real me wouldn’t say. I hid my ideas and the love I had toward everyone. My friends were bullies, always ganging up on the weak, different, or not comfortable with themselves. Taking part in the harassment for months made me very upset with myself. I couldn’t understand why I was allowing myself to be a part of such bad things and bad people. So many times I tried to get away from the person I became. I remember always wishing I could just walk away and go say hello to this boy, whom all my friends didn’t seem to know existed. I was afraid to leave my bully friends and go and start talking to this kid. I wasn’t sure if he would want to be my friend because I just assumed he thought I was horrible through association. Making a poor choice, I never ended up talking to the boy and I stayed with my group of bully friends for the rest of the school year.
A lot has changed in six years. I no longer hang out with those kinds of people. I’m finally myself; happy, caring, helpful, understanding and maybe a little bit crazy. People who get bullied never deserve it. To me, I think that people treat others badly because they are battling their own issues or insecurities. This needs to stop, teens or just people in general who are bullies need to be aware of the problems they are causing in the victim’s life. If a person hears something too many times they start to believe this is true. If someone calls another person ‘ugly’ or ‘fat’ they will begin to think they are, or if they already believe these nasty thoughts on their own it will bring them down even more.
If you ever see someone being treated badly don’t be afraid to stand up and say something to make a change. People need to come together and better understand what damage can be done by bullying. Raising awareness though communicating with each other and being open, honest and caring are ways resolve the problem. National Bullying Awareness Week was Nov. 17 to 23. For advice or support on bullying please call 1-88-456-232. For questions or letters for the Review’s teen columnist, Taylor, email her c/o editor@rimbeyreview.com
Canadians adversely affected by the Employment Insurance ripoff If Stephen Harper really wants to help working Canadians and their families, he needs to scrap the pork-barreling Employment Insurance system designed by Pierre Trudeau, and give Canadians back their own money. This year in Canada, every working Canadian couple, with each worker earning at least $47,400, will watch as $4,277 in EI “contributions” are shipped to Ottawa on their behalf. The government has hiked that maximum EI tax haul by 25% since 2008, when it was $3,412. Now some provincial premiers are beating the drum for a huge hike in the deductions taken from our pay cheques for the Canadian Pension Plan: They argue that Canadians aren’t saving enough for retirement. But a working Canadian couple could save over $67,000 in 10 years, if they simply were allowed to keep their EI contributions in their own, personal, tax-sheltered rainy-day fund. They could use the money in the event of a job loss or keep it for their retirement. For Canadians who plan their lives around staying employed — think about school teachers, bus drivers, lab technicians, accountants, business managers — EI is nothing more than a rip-off, pure and simple.
Gregory Thomas, Federal Director Canadian Taxpayers Federation Guest Columnist
And it is a rip-off on a massive scale: Between 1981 and 2009, Ontarians paid $75 billion more in EI taxes than they collected in EI benefits. Albertans paid nearly $18 billion more than they collected. It’s a similar story across Western Canada. Even worse, when workers in many parts of Canada find themselves suddenly out of a job, they can’t collect EI, because the regional rules tilt the playing field against them. City dwellers lose out while their laid off colleagues, who might have worked at the same company and even in the same building, might be permitted to collect EI cheques for weeks because their residence is located in a rural community. No other nation on the planet runs its employment insurance system this way. Our EI system was morphed in the 1970s into a vote-buying machine for the government in power. Sadly, not much has changed in 40 years. Today, less than half of Ontario’s unemployed can collect EI benefits, while in other provinces, ev-
eryone who loses their job ends up collecting. No wonder that in Newfoundland and Labrador, 60% of EI claimants have made at least three claims in the past five years. Further details were released this week in the Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s new report Unmasking Employment Insurance: How EI Increases Unemployment and Steals Billions from Working Canadians. Canada’s EI system is making Canadian workers poorer: robbing them of thousands of dollars that rightfully belong on their pay cheques, and providing a cruel incentive to others not to work, not to upgrade their skills, and not to seek opportunity where there are steady, year-round jobs available. Canadian employers are filling hundreds of thousands of jobs with foreign workers, while we spend billions of dollars paying EI benefits for people who “go on unemployment” year after year after year. We spend more than a billion dollars every year, just on the administration costs for this wasteful, destructive pork-barrelling scheme. Canadian workers deserve to keep their own money. They deserve to know that the money that comes off their pay cheque will be there — for them — when they need it, not shipped off to Ottawa to buy votes for politicians.

Long term care resident wants some answers Dear Editor, With regards to the recent town election, I am wondering who decides where polling stations will be? Why do they have an advanced poll at the (Rimbey) Lodge which will give anyone in the Lodge a chance to vote yet the long term facility does not qualify for a polling station? When I called the town office, the answer I received was that we would have to go to the community centre to vote. When I asked how we got there, I was told we would have to use the handi-van. There are somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 residents in the long-term care facility. Why should we tie up the handi-van for the day and why should it cost us $5 each to vote when the residents of the Lodge have voting on site? I turned this problem over the care manager who phoned the town office several times over three or four days and was told she would be called back. The return call finally was received the Monday morning of the election which was too late to arrange for a bus or a handi-van. I don’t know who decides where polling stations should be but don’t feel that the residents of the Lodge are any more entitled to a polling station than the residents of the long-term care facility. I would like an answer to this question either to me at 403-843-2104 or to the care manager of the long term care facility? We do get a polling station here for provincial and federal elections. What is the difference? Andy Gillespie, Resident of Rimbey’s long-term care facility (on behalf of several of the residents of the long term care facility)

Rimbey post office customers give generously By Treena Mielke The generosity of its customers has put the Rimbey post office among top rankings across the nation for raising funds for the Canada Post Foundation. Postmaster Marnie Bland said the $4,420 donated put the Rimbey post office in fourth
place across Canada. She is proud the local post office even beat out post offices in larger centres. The Canada Post Foundation is set up to provide funding for community and school programs benefitting children, ranked fourth in the nation as a. The money was raised throughout October and during the first nine days of November.
To help boost the dollars raised, Mayor Rick Pankiw donated two hockey tickets to a game between Edmonton and Calgary to be held Dec. 7. To be eligible to enter the draw for the tickets, a five-dollar donation was required. The winner of the tickets was Don Falk of Rimbey.

**WELCOME TO WINTER IN RIMBEY** Please be paƟent. Our employees work diligently and hard during snow events and cannot be everywhere at once. It would be a great assistance to the snow removal team, if residents could remove their vehicles from the streets during heavy snowfall events. This enables them to quickly and eĸciently do the snow removal. They will not return to plow the roadway if your vehicle is moved aŌer they have gone by. PLEASE DO NOT APPROACH THE SNOW REMOVAL EQUIPMENT AS IT IS WORKING. THIS PUTS YOU AND OUR EMPLOYEES AT GREAT RISK.
If you have concerns, please call the Public Works department at 403-843-2725.
3. Service Levels Roads The sequence of clearing will be established at the discreƟon of the Public Works department within each priority category. a. On roadways with boulevards on both sides and no sidewalks on either side, snow windrows shall be plowed to and stored on either or both boulevards. b. On roadways with a centre median, snow shall be plowed to and stored on the median. c. On roadways with boulevards on both sides between the curb and sidewalk, snow windrows shall be plowed onto either or both boulevards. d. On roadways with a boulevard on one side and a monolithic sidewalk on the other side, the snow shall be plowed to the side with the boulevard only. e. On roadways with monolithic sidewalks on both sides, snow windrows shall be plowed onto the sidewalk on one side only. The selecƟon of which side shall be based on consideraƟon of eĸciency of plowing, number of driveways and Įre hydrants and number of properƟes aīected. The snow plowed onto the sidewalks may spill onto the road right-of-way between the back of the sidewalk and the property line. f. The Public Works Department may select locaƟons for snow removal where traĸc volumes, parking constricƟons, mulƟ-family development, roadway alignment constraints or such like maƩers make snow storage within the road right-of-way inappropriate. Driveways and Lane Crossings – Where a snow windrow is placed across a private driveway entrance, a public driveway entrance, or a lane entrance, the Town will open up the windrow at all such locaƟons by pushing the snow to each or both sides of the crossing. Laneways – When laneways become impassable or ruƩed or driŌed in, the snow will be ŇaƩened and pushed by front-end loader. 4. Sidewalks Sidewalk clearing will commence independent of road clearing and is typically done aŌer a major snowfall event, if resources permit. Clearing will progress along the route established in the aƩached map, according to priority. It is the responsibility of the property owner to remove snow from adjacent sidewalks as per Bylaw #859/10. The Town of Rimbey is not obligated to remove snow from any sidewalks, unless it was deposited on the sidewalk by Town snow removal crews. 5. Parking Lots Parking lot cleaning will commence as part of Priority 2 clearing due to the faciliƟes being essenƟal components of the Municipal Emergency Plan for the Town of Rimbey. 6. Sand, Chips, De-icers As road condiƟons become slippery, abrasives and/or melƟng agents may be applied at hazardous locaƟons such as hills, curves and intersecƟons if other techniques are ineīecƟve or inappropriate. The applicaƟon is done on a priority basis similar to snow removal.

Santa Night and Festival of Lights soon to arrive in Rimbey By Treena Mielke A workshop of elves is already busy preparing to bring Santa Night and the Festival of Lights to Rimbey with a huge splash which best befits the holiday season. Peter Stenstrom, director of community services said this year’s event is gearing up to be a wonderful Christmas celebration. “And it is free thanks to the fact the business community and volunteers have all come
together to work hard to make it happen,” he said. This year Santa Night is to be held Fri., Dec. 13 beginning at 6:30 p.m. at Pas Ka Poo Park. The event, which has attracted large crowds in the past, will feature the jolly old elf himself, as well as an opportunity to enjoy a hotdog, hot chocolate and a hay ride or, perhaps a donkey ride. And to add to the spirit
of the season, there will be a fire and carol singing. A photographer will be on hand to snap individual photos with Santa which will be given out free of charge. Donations will also be accepted during Santa Night for the Boys and Girls Club of Rimbey which will begin in January. The lights will come on at Pas Ka Poo Park Dec. 1 and the public will have an op-
portunity to vote on the best decorated building during Santa Night. Last year Super 8 won first place with their yard display set up at the park. The park will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. every Friday and Saturday throughout December so the public can enjoy the lovely display of lights. The grounds are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. throughout the winter.

Bentley Fire Fighters’ Foundation to take time off By June Norvila
In the past BFF had spearheaded such events as the Canada Day celebrations and local Christmas tree lighting program. They hope new people will take the events over. Turner said, “We have accomplished and done so much more than we expected and are proud of what we have accomplished. It will give them (members) a chance to focus on other areas and it will give other people and groups a chance to step up.” BFF executive were president Krista Turner, vice-president Kathi Issler, secretary Melysa Fraser, treasurer Cheryl Hueppelsheuser, director / past-president Carolyn McLaren, and directors Maureen Moore and Emily Pearson. The bank account will be kept open so the foundation can be started up again should the need arise explained Turner, and that could happen with a move being made into a brand new fire hall scheduled for next year. However, for now the current members are taking a well-deserved rest.
It is official. The Bentley Firefighters’ Foundation (BFF) is taking a break. In 2009 the Bentley Firefighter’s Foundation was formed to assist and support the Bentley volunteer fire department, especially with fundraising and awareness, and to offer some special community events. Now, after just four short years, current president Krista Turner says, “We are taking a break. I see it as really positive. We are very excited about it. In four years we have accomplished the objectives and goals that we had set out to do in ten. It is an exciting time for us. We are so proud of what we have done.” The entire board had unanimously decided to step down as an executive, so on November 17, at the fire The Bentley Firefighter’s Foundation dispersed their funds on November 17.

Poaching at night keeps RCMP busy This week Rimbey RCMP responded to 41 calls for service. Highlights include domestics, impaired drivers, trespassing, poaching at night, and other serious matters. Mounties respond to Wildlife Act offences Mounties and Fish and Wildlife Officers were kept busy this week in the detachment area responding to trespassing complaints, shooting from roadways, hunting at night and other serious Wildlife Act offences. Poaching serious issue In the Gimlet and Leedale Colony area, several more complaints have been made of hunters shooting game from the roadway, then driving into the field, loading the harvested animal quickly and fleeing with it before they could be caught. RCMP arrested several people, including poachers utilizing spotlights at night to hunt game on private land without permission. In one case, officers are currently investigating the report of a shot horse northeast of Rimbey. A local veterinarian is assisting police in that investigation to determine if there was
any evidence of a bullet wound or if it had died of other natural causes. Hunter kills fawn and leaves body In last week’s Police Report, we reported that shots were fired near a local Mounties rural home after dark while he was out west checking hunters. In that case, it was later found that the hunter had actually shot a fawn that was more or less a pet in the neighbourhood as it had lost its mother during the year. It would hang out and feed all day long around the barns, etc where it was safe from coyotes, etc. The hunter in this case, left the young deer to rot as it was just not big enough to bother with after he saw how small it really was. Call report a poacher hotline If you witness a hunting violation or have any information of illegally shot game, please call the Report a Poacher hotline at 1-800642-3800 or the detachment at (403) 843-2223. Don’t hesitate; call immediately so officers can respond quickly. Driver shows integrity Police attended several motor

She was pleasantly surprised to find a note on the windshield indicating who had done the damages. When she contacted the other driver, the young person stated he had accidentally backed into her car. Since the collision, the young man has completely paid off all the damages.

Wetlands project proposed for Gull Lake Paul Cowley Black Press A wetlands project has been proposed to filter pollutants making their way to Gull Lake. The Gull Lake Water Quality Management Society has proposed the project, which would be developed at the southeast corner of the lake where a pair of streams flow into the lake. “Excessive nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorous can lead to eutrophication of the lake, which leads to an excessive amount of aquatic plant and phytoplankton growth,” says a funding request to Lacombe County council from society president Craig MacLeod. The main sources of phosphorous are ag-
ricultural runoff and from lake bottom sediments, says the society. MacLeod suggests the county could tap a fund that has been set up to cover the power costs of pumping water from the Battle River into Gull Lake to stabilize lake levels during dry years. Pumping has not been required in recent years. A budget for the wetland project and a specific funding amount has not been forwarded to council yet. Sewage from residences and pollutants from recreational activities also contribute to lake problems, says MacLeod. The society wants the county to ensure that infill housing has updated septic tank systems.
“We are seeing seasonal cabins with failing sewer systems being replaced by yearround housing that are using the same septic field systems the cabin used previously,” says MacLeod. Council made no decision on the request at its council meeting last Thursday. County commissioner Terry Hager said council wants to hear a presentation from the society and to hear whether residents near the proposed wetland project support the plan. “Council would view it certainly differently if they didn’t have support,” he said. “We just wanted to make sure they had their other partners all lined up.” Hager said he would not recommend the pumping fund be used. It is shared by La-
combe and Ponoka Counties and the Summer Villages of Gull Lake and Parkland Beach. Approval would be required from all four to dip into the fund. Draining that fund means municipalities would have to find significant amounts of money elsewhere in its budgets during a drought. When pumping is needed, the bill will likely be higher than the amount set aside in the fund. “The fact that we didn’t have pumping for two years doesn’t mean that money is all of a sudden freed up,” he said. A spokesman for the society could not be reached for comment on Monday. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com
Wolverine researcher to speak at KWNC The Red Deer River Naturalists are pleased to host wolverine researcher, Mirjam Barrueto, to speak about these elusive wilderness wanderers at their meeting on November 28. The meeting will be held at Kerry Wood Nature Centre in Red Deer and begins at 7 p.m. There is no charge and all are welcome. Woverines are famous long distance runners, mountaineers and survival artists. They are adapted to solitude, long winters and sparse food. They have territories equal to those of grizzly bears, and they prefer to stay away from people. What kind of an animal is the wolverine? How do they fare in the busy, highly fragmented, highly developed southern part of their North American range? How can we help them survive the 21st century? Mirjam Barrueto is a research associate working in partnership with Tony Clevenger of the Western Transportation Institute at Montana State University, the Miistakis Institute for the Rockies, and Parks Canada (Banff National Park). Her work is focusing on wildlife monitoring along the highway corridor in Banff National Park, specifically exploring the influence of wildlife crossing structures. As part of this project, Mirjam is involved with an assessment of the wolverine population in Banff, Yoho and Kootney National Parks. Originally from Zurich, Switzerland, Mirjam holds a master’s degree in zoology from the University of British Columbia. For information contact Red Deer River Naturalists at 403347-8200.

Gull Lake North Citizens on Patrol receive help from Rimbey Lions By Treena Mielke
they truly have been the extra eyes and ears for the Rimbey RCMP in a variety of ways. Their accomplishments include helping recover stolen property, assisting in the apprehension of a drunk driver, and helping rescue young men stranded for several hours in the water in Gull Lake. The members do not confront anyone or try to stop a crime in progress; instead, they observe and report their findings to the RCMP. Working in pairs, COP patrol the lake neighborhoods of Sunnyside, Poulsen’s Pasture, Poulsen’s Estates, Parkland Beach including Aspen Rise, Birch Bay, Birch Meadows, Twin Creek Acres and Westlake Estates. Magnetic signs are placed on the outside of their private vehicles as a means of identification. The group received some municipal funding when they began operations in August, 2002, but are now primarily self-sufficient. Their on-going operating costs are met through fundraising and their primary source of income is an annual garage sale comprised of items donated from people in their patrol areas, and, occasionally from the RCMP. Proceeds from the sale go to cover maintenance of patrol kit equipment which includes a scanner radio, a cell phone, night vision goggles and highintensity flashlights and replacement of first aid supplies. Keeping members up-to-date with first aid training costs about $1,500 every three years. The financial assistance from the Rimbey Lions to purchase the AED
A life and death scenario can happen without warning, and, being prepared to administer life saving techniques as quickly as possible is crucial. Helping in the event of such an emergency is what Gull Lake North Citizens on Patrol are trained to do and, therefore, they were most grateful to receive $3,136.00 from Rimbey Lions Club to purchase two automatic emergency defibrillators. The defibrillators are user friendly, and once the defibrillator pads are applied, the operator is given audible/visual prompts to assist in proper administration of CPR. The unit’s lid acts as a passive airway support to maintain the victim’s open airway and comes with a one-piece CPR pad, scissors and nonlatex gloves and 10 lithium batteries required for operations. Maintenance costs are minimal since the shelf life of both the CPR pads and batteries is approximately five years. To be ready to assist a child who needs CPR, Lakewatch Security has purchased pediatric defibrillator pads for the AEDs. Secretary Irene Wegmann said AHA 2010 guidelines note that if bystanders do nothing for a collapsed victim, the chance of survival drops about 10 per cent every minute. However, if bystanders can immediately begin CPR and keep it up, the chance of survival only drops three to four per cent per minute. At that rate approximately 10 minutes after collapse the chance of survival remains at least 60 per cent.

Changes to recreation at community centre By Treena Mielke Fitness Centre changes A squat rack and set of plates were added to the centre in October. During the last few months the centre has been expanded, security improved, the walls painted and new equipment added. Mirrors have been replaced, a spinner bike added, treadmills replaced and a storage rack built. A new television has been installed and the area painted. Memberships have increased significantly with the changes that have been implemented. Rimbey Aquatic Centre winterized A storage shed has been built on the northeast corner of the pool pad for summer storage of pool supplies. Repairs have been made to the spray park which did not open during the 2013 season. The park is now winterized and no further work will be completed until the spring. Seating, a garbage receptacle, a bike rack and trees are also planned for spring as well as grading improvements to help with drainage at the front entrance of the pool. More staff at arena Six hours of custodial support on weekend has been added to the arena to help with upkeep and cleanliness. Dollars needed for beautification projects In his report to council, Community Services Director Peter Stenstrom said around $50,000 would be needed to give the town a new, upgraded look including new park benches and garbage re-

An additional $25,000 will be the cost to repair the tennis courts which have been vandalized. He said repairs need to be made to the net hardware and new nets need to be purchased. The overall condition of the courts is poor, the fencing is damaged and the pad needs to be resurfaced. The majority of public responses regarding the park on 46 Avenue state playground equipment and a basketball pad should be installed. Stenstrom said mon-

Survive winter driving Continued from page 15 • Avoid the use of cruise control. Winter driving requires you to be in full control of your vehicle at all times. An unexpected patch of ice or gust of wind can cause you to lose control. • Avoid rapid acceleration, forceful braking and jerking movements of the steering wheel. These can cause skidding and loss of control. These actions should be smooth and gradual. • If you begin to skid, do not panic. Remain calm and shift your vehicle to neutral. This will stop the drive train from propelling the vehicle forward. Steer gently in the direction you wish to go. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle until help arrives. Your vehicle provides shelter from the cold. Conserve fuel and power. Clear snow away from your exhaust pipe. Stay awake.

In Memoriam
Mar. 8, 1930 - Nov. 16, 2013 Mrs. Anne Wyllie (nee Mady) slipped peacefully away on November 16/2013 at St. Joseph Auxiliary Hospital in Edmonton at the age of 83 years. This marked the end of a fulfilled and virtuous life. She leaves, to mourn, her daughters Elaine (Syd Pallister), Paula (Jim Reiser) sons Bob (Elaine Maloney) and Mark (Joanne Wyllie) as well as her beloved sister Mildred Stecyk of Saskatoon; in laws, Loraine Wear of Concord, California and Russ Wiley of Saskatoon. Anne was blessed with 10 grandchildren, 1 great grandson, 2 great granddaughters as well as many nieces, great nieces and great nephews. She also leaves behind many dear friends, most notably in Alberta and Saskatchewan. She was predeceased by infant son Ricky in 1960 and husband George in 2008. Anne was born in 1930 in Kindersley, Saskatchewan the daughter of Ukrainian immigrant farmers (John and Mary Mady) and grew up and attended school in Glidden. Despite not speaking English when she started school, she persevered to become an honours student. Anne met her husband, George, who was also from the Kindersley area (Brock) and they wed in 1952. They moved to Edmonton, then Rimbey, where they grew a business and a family, before retiring back to Edmonton. Anne’s early introduction to agriculture helps to explain her near magical effect on all that grew inside and outside of her home. She was consumed with all things involving friends and family and had an undying interest in politics and world affairs. She was always keen to speak on all topics with friends, family, or even strangers. Anne’s family wish to invite all to attend a memorial reception celebrating her life to take place on Sunday December 1/2013 from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Riverbend Community Center (258 Rhatigan Rd. East) in Edmonton. Memorial donations may be made to the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton.

Kinsmen Club plan to hold community Christmas party By Treena Mielke Rimbey Kinsmen Club is getting into the holiday season with a community Christmas party. The party, to be held Dec. 14 at Rimbey Community Centre will feature the Jesse Lewis Hypnosis Show. Lewis is a well-known hypnotist who promises a family show of great, clean entertainment for all ages. The party is to include cocktails at 5:30 p.m. followed by supper at 7 p.m. The show starts at 8 p.m.
and a cabaret will follow. Allen Adam, project manager for the event said tickets are going well and the event should be a fun time for all as well as a great fundraiser to help raise dollars for projects such as playground equipment for the Kinsmen Park. The Kinsmen Club is also in the process of completing calendars which include the dates of birthdays and anniversaries. “We’ve got lots on the go right now,” said Adam.
Bluffton 4-H has a good start to the year’s activities By Leah Trenson, Club Reporter Bluffton 4-H Beef Club We had our Weigh In on October 20. It was interesting seeing everyone’s calves. They looked awesome! There were 26 steers,16 heifers and eight carcass steers. Thank you to the Bluffton Vet Clinic for the use of your facility. Also thank you to Merial for donating the Ivomec Pour On. Several members helped with the Hoadley Fall
Supper on October 19. On October 27 we had a Marketing/ Judging Workshop. We learned about marketing and practiced judging. We also had a donkey halter breaking demonstration. The donkeys were amazing! Thanks to the Skeels family for hosting this event. On November 17 we went the Rimbey Manor to play bingo, visit and serve snacks. Our club is having an excellent year and we look forward to more fun and learning.
More funds to go to Rimbey FCSS By Amelia Naismith Rimbey FCSS, upon request, received a an increase to it’s 2014 budget through Ponoka County Council. Council will contribute $27, 336 to Rimbey FCSS, an $8,000 increase from 2013. The budget increase will provide better support for programs run through FCSS, including a home care program. “The business model is that there’s actually the home care contract through Alberta Health Services,
and that contract provides a really important service to our community,” said Reeve Paul McLauchlin. McLauchlin feels it’s important the program is supported in the local environment. “There’s been dramatic failures in the home care program in our urban friends places, as well as the corporate delivery of home care has been a dismal failure.” FCSS also provides around 16 other services, including a food bank. “At the end of the day they provide this social safety net that our community benefits from,” said McLauchlin.
